The system of claim 1, wherein the proactive business process policy is operable to correlate business data based on the business event. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the proactive business process policy is operable to draw an inference based on the business event. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the proactive business process policy is operable to communicate with a knowledge-based application. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the proactive business process policy is operable to generate a consultation trigger based on the business event for transmission to the predictive business process policy. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the proactive business process policy is operable to receive and process a consultation trigger from one or more of the reactive business process policy and the predictive business process policy. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive business process policy is operable to analyze patterns. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive business process policy is operable to use a neural network to process the particular business event. 15. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive business process policy is operable to use a neural agent to process the business event. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive business process policy is operable to generate a consultation trigger based on the business event for transmission to the reactive business process policy. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive business process policy is operable to generate a consultation trigger based on the business event for transmission to the proactive business process policy. 18. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive business process policy is operable to receive and process a consultation trigger from one or more of the reactive business process policy and the proactive business process policy. 19. A method for analyzing business events, comprising: identifying, by a computer, one or more business events using an event manager comprising a rule-based application and a predictive application that are operable to access and implement one or more business process policies stored in a business process policy module, the one or more business process policies stored in the business process policy module comprising a reactive business process policy, a proactive business process policy, and a predictive process policy, the one or more business process policies for use in identifying, propagating, and analyzing the one or more business events; determining one or more of the business process policies to which a particular business event should be forwarded; initiating, if it is determined that the particular business event should be forwarded to the reactive business process policy, a reactive process to process the particular business event; initiating, if it is determined that the particular business event should be forwarded to the proactive business process policy, a proactive process to process the particular business event; initiating, if it is determined that the particular business event should be forwarded to the predictive business process policy, a predictive process to process the particular business event; and generating, from the proactive business process policy, a consultation trigger based on the particular business event for transmission to the reactive business process policy. 20.
